Elonah Dooley
Volunteer Coordinator
Elonah Dooley came to YMOW in early 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in social work and a desire to help her community.
A graduate of Western Michigan University, Elonah trained and managed volunteers at a domestic violence and sexual assault shelter while earning her degree.
“I really wanted to branch out,” said Elonah, who is excited about the chance to strengthen and grow YMOW’s vital corps of volunteers.
Elonah said she will apply her social work knowledge and experience to her role as volunteer coordinator, teaching volunteers to identify and address the unspoken needs of seniors in the community.
“They can actually build a connection,” she said.
A native of Ypsilanti, Elonah enjoys reading, video games, and her dog, Maggie.
